Elon Musk’s xAI has acquired his social media platform X in a $33 billion all-stock deal.
Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence firm, xAI, has acquired X—his social media company formerly known as Twitter—in an all-stock deal valued at $33 billion.
Musk said X, which has more than 600 million users, is closely tied to the future of xAI, the startup he launched two years ago. The deal consolidates two of Musk’s key ventures, alongside Tesla and SpaceX, and could streamline efforts to train his AI model, Grok.
He said the acquisition would enable the creation of a platform that not only reflects the world but also accelerates human progress.
Including $12 billion in debt, the deal is valued at $45 billion. Musk announced the transaction in a post on X, stating that the combined entity would carry a valuation of $80 billion.
Details remain unclear—such as whether investors approved the deal or how they will be compensated. It’s also uncertain how the acquisition will directly advance Musk’s AI goals, though closer integration with X may allow xAI to more rapidly deploy its latest AI models and features to a vast user base.
